All Lanes Open, All the Time: 

The Power of Pan-Oston’s Convertible Checkout Lane

If you’ve worked in retail, you know the front end can make or break a shopping experience. Some days the lines are long and staff are stretched thin. Other days, the store feels quiet, and a few traditional checkout lanes sit unused. 

Finding the right balance between service, efficiency, and space can be a constant challenge.

That’s exactly why we created the Pan-Oston Convertible Lane. With a quick switch between full-service and self-service modes, it helps retailers stay efficient during peak hours and cost-effective during slower ones. 

One Lane. Multiple Functions. Total Flexibility.

The Convertible Lane is designed to work the way your store does: fast, flexible, and always ready to adapt. During busy hours, it operates as a full-service checkout to move customers through quickly with cashier assistance. When traffic slows down, it transitions seamlessly to self-service mode, so every lane stays open and productive, even with limited staff.

Customizable to Fit Your Store’s Front End

At Pan-Oston, we understand that every store layout is different. That’s why Pan-Oston Convertible Lanes are available in multiple size and rear style options. Our lanes are designed to fit seamlessly into your existing checkout environment.

Built to Perform. Designed to Last.

Every Convertible Lane is built with commercial-grade steel construction, stainless steel tops, and a durable electrostatic powder-coat finish that’s available in a range of colors to match your store’s branding. Our Convertible Lanes are long-term investments in performance, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Top Features:

• Dual-mode checkout: Full-service & Self-service
  
  
• Custom sliding point-of-sale mount for seamless mode transition
  
  
• Embedded customer-facing point-of-sale and cash equipment options
  
  
• Optional hardware integration services
  
  
• Proudly Made in the USA from domestic materials
  
  

The Bottom Line: Smarter Checkout Starts Here

At Pan-Oston, we've spent over five decades perfecting the art of the checkout lane, and the Convertible Lane is the result of that commitment to innovation, adaptability, and customer service.

If you're ready to navigate the ebbs and flows of customer traffic with a smarter, more flexible front-end solution, it’s time to make the switch.
